<PHONE> You text Koji Silvia: What is a campground I can go to around here?

<PHONE> You text Koji Silvia: I did not mean to send that as a message! Still learning this device.

<PHONE> A text from Koji Silvia: *Includes link for Camping Sites around Tokyo* You'll need to pay for a lot for the place you want to go. Then you need to get out there. You can get a taxi or rideshare to get there.

<PHONE> A text from Koji Silvia: I'm happy to help out with both. My dad has a bunch of camping stuff for school trips and other things.

<PHONE> You text Koji Silvia: That'd be great! I'm just feeling a little homesick. This world is amazing. But it doesn't feel like home, and I saw there was camping and I just... I need to feel like it's the same, you know?

<PHONE> A text from Koji Silvia: How bare bones do you want it? This is a cold time for camping. We can get an oil heater, or a camp stove. You'll want a tent with a rain cover, and probably a portable cot. If I come along, I can bring stuff to cook with.

<PHONE> You text Koji Silvia: That all sounds good. I don't think I ever discussed what Etheria was like. Or if Adora ever told anyone. It was a lot of wilderness. Yeah, there was the castles and villages, but I like just being out in nature. I'm okay with roughing it! In fact, that might make me feel a little better. This all just so new and it's taking a lot to get used to it and -- it's hitting that this is real. Not some dream. I'm on an alien world and my home depends on me, and it's a lot.

<PHONE> A text from Koji Silvia: Send an e-mail to the school to let them know you're going to be gone for a weekend camping, send them the camp reservation so they know where you are, and then I'll ask my mom to drive us up. I can't guarantee it'll be TOTALLY rough, but... at least you'll get away for a bit.

<PHONE> You text Koji Silvia: Thanks Koji. That's two I'm going to owe you!

<PHONE> A text from Koji Silvia: Okay. I just need to pry the gear loose from my dad WITHOUT him showing up. Trust me. You're NOT ready to meet him!

<PHONE> A text from Koji Silvia: And you don't owe me. Think of it as a down payment for you getting home.

<PHONE> You text Koji Silvia: I think Sayaka would be upset if she heard you say that. But yes. And I probably need to set up something for Swiftwind, or bring him with me.

<PHONE> A text from Koji Silvia: Who's Swiftwind?

<PHONE> You text Koji Silvia: Adora's mount. An alicorn the size of a cat, but can become as large as a horse. He does not like roughing it.

<PHONE> A text from Koji Silvia: I've met a talking cat. More than once. Also a ghost. But never an Alicorn. So... okay.

<PHONE> You text Koji Silvia: I guess you will be!

<PHONE> A text from Koji Silvia: Then... he will need to be VERY quiet on the ride up.

<PHONE> You text Koji Silvia: That he can do.

<PHONE> You text Koji Silvia: I hope.
